Hello all,

We're using PfSense as an internal router/firewall (no connection to WAN). Using the Web-GUI, under Status ---> Interfaces, there's one particular interface where I have some errors:

In/out errors    3513/0

I then SSHed to the firewall to validate the info provided by the WebGUI and here's the output:

# netstat -ni -I bce2
Name    Mtu Network       Address                  Ipkts Ierrs     Opkt  Oerrs  Coll
bce2   1500 <Link#3>      00:23:7d:cd:a2:a2   1404522323  3513 749797131     0     0
bce2   1500 10.42.1.0/24  10.42.1.24                   6     -         6     -     -

As you can see, both present the same info (errors on incoming packets). I switched cables, changed network card, changed port on switch and I still see the errors. My 2 questions really are:

1) Is there any way I could get more info on the nature of these errors? or is this all I can get?

2) Should I be worried about this? As you can see, the errors are a VERY LOW percentage of all the total incoming packets. In other words, is this normal on a high-traffic gigabit interface?

Thanks! JFA
